Why aren't people staying here?

#ElonMusk drove more than a million people to #Mastodon, but many aren’t sticking around

The number of active users on the Mastodon social network has dropped more than 30% since the peak and is continuing a slow decline, according to the latest data posted on its website. There are around 1.8 million active users in the first week of January, down from over 2.5 million in early December.

Elon Musk drove more than a million people to Mastodon – but many aren’t sticking around

More than 130,000 people were joining the new independent social media network a day in November. So why hasn’t it taken off?

@3DayMonk i’m still not even sure I’m in the best part of it for my interests. Not finding anybody from my Twitter accounts here except two or three… what I did find was good constant updates on Ukraine, so I’m staying for that reason.

@xibee I’m not sure if it makes much difference which server you are on. Very few of the people that followed me on Twitter are using the same server as me on Mastodon. If you would like to find people that you were connected with on Twitter, use #Fedifinder or #followgraph. It’s been 50-50 for me, between people I follow on both platforms and people I've connected with exclusively on Mastodon.
